Give us this day our daily bread.
In
everything, each day, we need to rely on God. Giving us our daily
bread extends beyond the food we need for our bodies. It includes the spiritual
food we need to get us through the day. We need His daily bread in our
relationships, in our work places, to alleviate our worry, to lift our spirits,
to build our trust. Step by step, we need God’s daily bread.
Yesterday we prayed for His kingdom to come and His will to be done.
Praying for His kingdom before asking Him to meet our daily needs in life fits
into the pattern of another familiar Scripture where Jesus says:
“But
seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all of these things
will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33
We can
petition God for our needs and our desires, but as we praise Him first and seek
His desires first, we can trust Him day-by-day, step-by-step to give us just
what we need. Trust Him for your daily bread.
Lord,
Help us to trust in You. Help us to go to You first
every single day, praising You for who You are and seeking Your kingdom and
Your will. You will bless us with what we need every minute of every day. With
Jesus nothing is impossible.
Amen
